Customer Reviews

Disaster struck when my DE 89L razor dropped on the bathroom floor breaking the top plate. Having used the razor for 6 years now, I was unsure if I had to change from such a well engineered product. Fortunately, I found the replacement top plate on your website which also shipped to India. I received it in two weeks which is far sooner than I would expect and it fits perfectly. The added Feather blades and the pre shave sampler were delightful. I now have a heirloom to hand over to my son, now three, when he is of age. Thank you Edwin Jagger.

Recently a friend showed me the broken cap on the EJ 89 I gave him 18 months ago. I quietly noted the built up layers of dried soap scum and thought that this razor had been treated like a cheap disposable plastic cartridge razor. Once the replacement cap arrived I cleaned the razor and was immediately impressed that not only the cap but the rest of the razor looked brand new. This reinforced my opinion that Edwin Jagger have the thickest chrome and most flawless finish compared to any razor I know. Also, blade alignment is always perfect. I own 30 razors including some vintage Gillette Tech's which also have Zamac caps. They have survived for 60 years and I see no reason why, with some care (baring accidents) an EJ razor would not also last a very long time. My fried was delighted to receive his perfect repaired razor. I advised him that to avoid future problems it would be best if he could at least rinse the razor after each use.

Just does what it should, and that's not so often nowadays !
Happy to see that you can buy a part instead of just throwing away the whole thing.
Replacement blades are a nice complement, of very good quality.

The design and feel of the razor is just amazing, somehow managing a shave that is close and mild at once. Unfortunately, the very need to offer a replacement cap also speaks to the quality of the materials: it's made out of zamak which is fairly brittle and so breaks far more easily than a number of other higher quality materials. Again, great design and tight specs but it could be better still.

Oh EJ, I love your products but this is the third top plate I have had to buy in three years, they always break at the same place on the thread, and as others have said this is a clear weak spot on an otherwise super quality razor.
The cost of having this top plate milled from stainless would not be prohibitive given that the product would then benefit the customer and also the EJ image, I don't want to come here just to buy a replacement top plate, and complain that I have had to replace this plate time and again, I want to buy the blades and creams etc. and not just spares.
I hope you take our views into consideration please, I want to leave 5* across the board for you.

Love my Jagger razor, saved an absolute fortune over the last 5 years I've had it by moving from Gillette cassettes to this. Great that Instead of having to buy a new one I can just get this part that broke when I dropped it. Well done making the top plate available.

It's good to be able to get a replacement top plate (and Feather blades are excellent). However it is not good practice to make a threaded product out of cast metal as it will not last, hence my low rating on quality. The product that has been produced is very well made but in my opinion the design is wrong, the thread should be from a more resilient material.

I was very happy with the replacement cap. My original razor had rusted on the top cap post. I bought on Amazon and am not sure of its authenticity. The turnaround was great and the new cap is great! Haven’t tried the razor blades yet.

So glad to find I could replace the broken to plate after I dropped my razor. In such a throw away world we should really round this support model. Superb quality, as the original was, and good as new again. Good value, surprised at the price and free quality blades of I'm honest.

All of a sudden I couldn't tighten the top of my razor,. My wife told me that she had dropped it when cleaning the shelf. I purchased this replacement top and everything was working well again. The feather blades are great too certainly deserving their reputation of being the sharpest you can bet.

I’ve broken once the plate’s screw when tightening a bit more ; this replacement head is a really useful feature for the best safety razor money can buy!
Feather blades are matching perfectly DE razors and ensure a smooth and close shave.

The head replacement is nicely chromed good value.
It us cast however and can snap at the threads as mine did.
My advice would be to leave the head loose after every shave and don't over tighten before the shave

After damaging my razor I needed a replacement top plate I was delighted to find Edwin Jagger sell them separately. It arrived promptly and was well packaged. The plate is very nicely finished with a lovely even chrome finish and the Feathers blades are the best I have tried giving a smoother closer shave than all the other blades I have tried.

After cleaning out the receiving end of the handle, this replacement head fitted nicely. I am happy I didn't need to buy a complete razor. The Feather blades are a nice add-on and provide a smooth shave. Great price for shipping half way round the world to USA.

I ordered your top plate to use with another make razor that it fits and makes the alignment of the blade better than the cap of the original manufacture. I have done this now with two of my razors with fabulous results. You specks are so much superior and the chroming is fantastic. That is what I said on my channel DE Shave Talk With Kit about my Yaq-Jag Razor ! Feather Blades are way too aggressive for me .... So I could not use the blades. I use Voskhod or Crystal or Personna Blue Blades Kit

Bought this for my fiancée as his previous top plate had broken in his suitcase. Brilliant price and meant that we didn’t have to replace the entire razor. Was very appreciative of the extra razors too. Ordered it on the Sunday and came on the Monday morning through standard delivery, safe to say we were very impressed.

My original DE89 is a wonderful machine - unfortunately, this 200lb shop-gorilla had been overtightening the handle, thus requiring a replacement head - very speedy turnaround and reasonably priced too.

Dropped my razor on a tile floor and broke the threads right off the top plate... after having the razor for 2+ years. Was stoked to see Edwin Jagger sold the top plate separately. Also, standard shipping to California was surprisingly fast.

Thank you for making a quality product and not making me buy an entirely new handle/razor!

I knocked my razor onto a tiled floor, the top plate broke instantly (obviously!) I was so pleased to see that a great quality, exact replacement was available at very reasonable cost. Nice touch to add in spare blades and a sample soap.

I was really pleased I could buy a new top plate after breaking mine and thinking I'd need a whole new razor. The quality is excellent, the delivery was quick and the free blades are a definite bonus. Excellent service all round. Plus buying direct you know you're getting a genuine part.

Fast shipping. Well packaged. The EJ top plate fits the old EJ bottom plate perfectly. I use a 4.5 inch long diamond etched handle by Merkur (better grip than the 3.5 inch long EJ DE89 handle). It seems the threaded sections are completely compatible. I'm glad to have my DE89 hybrid razor back.

Purchased an Edwin Jagger DE89 cheap that had a broken cap. Handle was in great shape and bottom plate was useable. I replaced top cap and now I will PIF to someone starting to DE Traditional Shave so they have a quality Razor for their first razor shaving with a DE Razor. Thanks Edwin Jagger.
